🌿 Anacharis (Egeria densa)

Bright-Green, Densely Leaved Stems • Fast-Growing Natural Oxygenator • A Favourite for Goldfish Tanks and Ponds

 

📋 Anacharis is one of the easiest and most useful aquarium plants you can buy. Its long, flowing stems are densely packed with bright-green leaves, creating a lush, natural background that grows quickly and soaks up excess nutrients, helping keep your water clean and clear. It's a classic choice for goldfish tanks, ponds, breeding tanks and beginner aquariums, giving fry and shrimp plenty of cover, and goldfish love to graze on its tender tips.

It's wonderfully versatile: plant it in bunches in the background or let it float freely at the surface, and it thrives either way. It needs no CO2, grows in low to moderate light, and is happiest in cooler, stable water, so it's a natural fit for goldfish and pond setups.

It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums and ponds.
